From the record jacket of My Fair Lady, Original Cast Recording:
" book and lyrics by : Alan Jay Lerner
music by : Frederic Loewe"
The Oklahoma cover says
"Music by RICHARD ROGERS Lyrics by OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II"
West Side Story reports
"Music by LEONARD BERSNTEIN
Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM
Book by ARTHUR LAURENTS"
Libretto seems to be reserved for opera and operetta, and includes all the words spoken and sung. Broadway designates them - and credits them - individually. Mix and match. Seems to take different skills to do words and songs both.
